This mid‑century detached home on The Limes offers practical family living across four bedrooms and comfortable communal space. A spacious lounge and an open-plan kitchen/diner sit to the rear, with garden views that make everyday meals and weekend gatherings easy. The plot is a stand‑out: a decent rear garden, private garage and off‑road parking suit families with cars and outdoor needs.
The property sits within easy reach of Rayleigh town centre and local amenities, with good primary and secondary schools nearby including FitzWimarc Secondary School catchment — a strong point for growing families. Built c.1967–1975, the house retains period character: brick exterior, bay windows and a mid‑century street presence in a very low‑crime, affluent neighbourhood.
Practical points to note: there is a single shower room for four bedrooms and the kitchen dates from the 1990s, so some updating would add value and convenience. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed but install date is unknown. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and council tax is above average.
This home will suit buyers seeking a solid, characterful family house with good outdoor space and school links, and who are comfortable carrying cosmetic updates or modest improvements to modernise the kitchen and add a second bathroom if required. Guide price £500,000–£525,000.
